I am listening to Adrienne Pierces music since about two weeks. I really like those singer-songwriter style and therefore I like Adrienne Pierces music. My favorite song is “Lost&Found” which was featured on the “Veronica Mars” soundtrack.

“The buzz on Adrienne Pierce continues to build. The Vancouver born singer/songwriter taps into a singular source to create music that has universal appeal. Her independently-produced debut, “Small Fires,” is a pop gem full of sublime songcraft and intense performances.” - John Goodman, North Shore News

I really quarreled with me if I should post this article. But I do it because of the great music. One more word about my thoughts: I only want to have such real-life content on this website that regards me and my adjacency. Since this website is about technology and interesting things I don’t want to deal with daily news – and catastrophes are such news I don’t want to deal with on this website.

But now go and buy this album. It’s really great – and that’s not only because it’s completely made by Musicians who are also Microsoft Employees.

“This album has been made possible by the generous donation of music from 16 artists. These 16 artists (or contributing artists) are employees of Microsoft, and will receive no compensation from the sale of this album.

In soliciting content for this compilation, there were submitted many times the number of tracks than could fit on the CD. While the artists and tracks below represent the public face of this generosity, the willingness of the music community at Microsoft to contribute was immediate and significant. Thanks go to all who submitted tracks – both those on this album, and those not.”

It’s from 1997. But it’s great! So if you have heard from the band “The Cardigans” – then you possibly know some of their Top-10 hits…BUT you probably don’t know their great album Emmerdale.

Go and give this melodic album a try.

There is a new album from Goldfrapp…I like it although some songs sound very very similar….

Some days ago on nyblog there was an article about Ella. Ella is a young swedish singer-songwriter who makes really nice calm and sensitive music with a touch of electronic

The best thing is, that her tracks are available for free download. Just go to her website and grab them. The only song I will directly link to is “Lads are Fun” which is my favourite track…this is a real catchy tune…

I just made a great music discovery: misnormer. This band is listed under the industrial category of the common free music portals – but in my opinion it’s not really industrial…it’s softer…it’s more melodic…

Misnormer calls itself “one of the UK’s biggest independent bands” and it’s possibly right. Misnormer makes definitly some of the finest tracks in their genre…

Because misnormer is an independent band they depend on the support from their fans. And that’s why you should go and support them by buying their music here.

So! Go, download, buy and spread the word!

Anyone here knows the series “Dead Like Me“?

I really like that series and from time to time there’s a slow and really nice song played in the background… That song is called “Boom Boom Ba” and is what I would call a catchy tune. It’s like I know parts of the song since years. But all together its a really new song that once heard you cannot get out of your mind for days.

But beside that one song Metisse is an all-round duo with so many facettes. If you want to be surprised by great music than Metisse is definitly worth a look.

Today it’s the day of music discoveries. I just found two great new artists/bands.

The first one is Goldfrapp. My colleague Hilmar sent me an eMail in which he strongly recommended Goldfrapp – especially because there is a new album coming up soon.

I instantly surfed to my favourite music store and took a look onto Goldfrapps current album “Black Cherry”. And after listening to the first two tracks I bought the thing.

I am looking forward to their upcoming album, even though I don’t like the new albums title song “Ooh La La”…it’s to soft and normal, ready for airplay…well maybe someone else will like it…

My favourite tracks on “Black Cherry” are Train and Black Cherry… awesome tracks.

ask Amazon to buy it…

So last week there was the TechEd Party. And the Scissor Sisters played there…And after the show I had to get the album. And there it is. Ordered on Thursday. Arrived at Saturday….

First: For me it’s a two part album. First half of the songs are great. Fantastic melodies and arrangements… but second there are songs that, – well just do not fit into the album…

Nevertheless I strongly recommend buying this album…

P.S.: my favourite Songs of course: Laura, Comfortable Numb, Take your Mama out

P.P.S.: No I am not gay. Just loving great music.
